Battle of Chuanghuh

The Battle of Chuanghuh occurred on 2 October 1904 when a Japanese force of 1,440 troops mauled an Imperial Russian Army corps dispatched to relieve Port Arthur from the Imperial Japanese Army's siege. The Japanese troops, led by General Akikuni Hineno, employed the use of heavy artillery to bombard the Russian troops as they marched into battle, and the Russians' position on hill slopes made them easier targets for artillery bombardment, as they were in view of the artillery. The Russian troops were then shattered by volleys of Japanese bullets from IJA riflemen, and the Russian army was mauled. 1,040 Russian troops were killed or wounded in the battle, while the Japanese lost 270 men. General Aleksandr Schrempf was killed in action during the battle, and the Japanese won another victory during the Port Arthur campaign.
